Was in contact with Devin about a car and he sounded great though text until I made the 45 minute drive to look at the car. When I arrived he acted like he was with another customer which was a lie, but thankful he did pass me off because the guy he put us with was actually honest and let me know that the car they were trying to sell wasn’t safe and needed endless amounts of work done to it! If they are willing to sell junk cars that need work but aren’t willing to list that in the ad, then in my eyes they are not the dealership you want to spend your hard earned money with! Thanks Devin for being every bit of what a car sells man is known for.

I worked with Ulises, he was knowledgeable and super helpful. I was very indecisive and he was very patient. Would highly recommend their entire team!

Horrible experience start to finish. Horrendous offers on the trade in. Vehicles listed at well above what surrounding dealerships offer at. Financing department was a joke seemed like they were trying to find the worst interest rate possible. Unprofessional condescending staff did not feel welcome at all.

I went into the dealership January 16 to look for a used car. We had purchased a new Kia Sportage from them in fall of 2019. On the 16th we drove a 2013 Kia Soul and ended up purchasing it but it hadn't been detailed yet. The carfax infor provided by them showed that the serpentine belt had been replaced between Jan 1 and Jan 16 when we bought it. On Jan 18 we picked the car up and the belt was screeching loudly and the salesman said that it needed to "settle" in. For the next two months the car wasn't driven hardly at all but the "noise" would start immediately but would generally die down on the highway/freeway. The noise would cause people to turn their heads two blocks away to see what was causing it. I called Power Kia (Salem) to ask a service tech to look at the tension adjustment and they said they couldn't look at until 8 days later. Then next day I took it to a shop that I use regularly and upon their initial inspection they called me back and showed me that the tension adjustment had NOT BEEN ADJUSTED which resulted in the idler pulley bearing going out. They fixed it in 25 minutes! I called Bill Bosworth (service department manager) and after explaining the sequence he asked me to scan and send him the invoice for $99.82 and he would send a check. That was April 1, 2021 and I have not heard from them. I called and asked for him today, April 27 and he was "in a meeting". I left my phone number and because you are reading this you know I have HEARD NOTHING! At this point I will NEVER buy another Kia and I doubt that I will use that dealership for any future service requirements. They talk a BIG talk until you drive off the lot but their followup doesn't exist!!! This is a follow-up to my review. I did not get a call from Mr. Bosworth or anyone else at the dealership but did receive a check in the mail on May 1st for the full amount of the repairs I had made. This restores my faith in the dealership and I would change my review. I should add that Power Kia did not replace the serpentine belt but did detail the car for sale and turned it over to us with the belt making a terrible noise. I'm satisfied with the response.

Consumer response

This is a follow-up to my earlier review. I did not get a call back from Mr. Bosworth or anyone else at the dealership but I received a reimbursement check for the full amount on May 1st! I should add that KIA did NOT do the serpentine belt replacement but did turn the car out after servicing it and detailing it for sale. This restores some of my past experience in dealing with Power Kia in Salem.

Service with a smile (I think)

Needed a service for new car. Happens to also be the one year anniversary of our purchase. Service was great, pricing was comparable to any other place and the service staff were great, couldn't tell if they were smiling (Mask), the there performance customer service traits and the looks and comfort of the waiting area were great. Will always come back.

Great service made for a great day!

We drove from Portland, OR to Salem and Power Kia to take a good, hard look at a used Honda. After a test drive confirmed that the car was what we wanted, we sat down with Michael Verton to start the purchase process. Mr. Verton was genuine, personable, and made the buying process about as painless as could be hoped for. We would definitely recommend Power Kia and Michael Verton to our friends.
